Skandar Keynes Bio

Well I want to share something that important and that is....................SKANDAR KEYNES BIO!!!

Skandar Amin Casper Keynes (born 5 September 1991) is an English actor best known for starring as Edmund Pevensie in the 2005 film adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He will return in the role of Edmund in the film's sequel The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which is currently scheduled for release in the summer of 2008.

Keynes was born in London to writer Randal Keynes and Zelfa Cecil Hourani and has a sister called Soumaya. Through his father, Keynes is the great-great-great grandson of the famous scientist Charles Darwin. His great grandfather Edgar Douglas Adrian, 1st Baron Adrian won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1932.

His maternal grandfather, Cecil Fadlo Hourani, is a famous writer of Lebanese descent, and the brother of Albert Hourani, also a well-known writer and professor. Keynes attended the Anna Scher Theatre School from 2000 to 2005 and currently attends the all-boys City of London School.

His father is the great-nephew of famed economist John Maynard Keynes.

A piece in the July 31, 2006, issue of The New Yorker magazine reported that Keynes and his family had flee Beiruit shortly after arriving there for their annual summer vacation when the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah conflict started. The family decided to leave when Skandar's grandfather had men, possibly Hezbollah militants, come to the house and asked him about the identities of the British visitors.

A descendant of Charles Darwin.

Personal Quotes

"When it's all over I won't miss the bruises he gave me to impress girls, or the occasional scar which will give me a story to tell my grandchildren, but I'll definitely miss the pranks and the laughing and all the making fun of each other. I'll miss the funky advice he gives me about everything -- football, girls, video games, clothes. Most of all, I'll miss having an older brother." (on costar, William Moseley)

"For safety reasons during the rehearsal we had to use a rubber ball, which has a really strange bounce that made it hard to hit. Then when we were finally using the real ball for the scene, Will bowled it wide of me every single time so I couldn't hit it. I was furious. Then Andrew started to doubt that I could actually play cricket, and he asked me to pretend to hit the ball for the rest of the rehearsals. On the next ball, I hit it as hard as I could. It smashed into some of our lighting, and the crew yelled, "Skan-DAR!'" (on the cricket scene)

"He's magical. He's great with children. Amazingly fun and cool and funny. Lots of hair too." (about director Andrew Adamson)

"When I first met Georgie, she was very eager to talk. Georgie is great. She's small and hilarious. To laugh at. I mean with - to laugh with."

"I can counter everyone but Andrew. One day, because he's always taking the mick out of me, I'm going to have the best comeback ever. I'm going to call him up thirty years from now and say, 'Hey, Andrew, remember when you said this? Well...'"

"Well, let's see. Edmund is the black sheep of the family, the outcast. He's always trying to get up to the level of the older two by putting down Lucy. He's very immature and full of resentment." - on his character, Edmund Pevensie, in the Chronicles of Narnia

I prefer my character over all the others. I really think I have the best character. Of course, he's a lot like me. He is the tyrant of the family, which I am, and, yep, he succumbs to temptation very easily. Edmund is the black sheep of the family, always teasing Lucy. But, in the end, Narnia makes him good. He goes through the most radical change, starts to appreciate his family. The adventure really changes him into a better person. (Narnia production notes)

Skandar is the best actor in my mind!!!! -Rakhmi (Skandar's fans)

Well guys the important part is I REALLY LOVE SKANDAR MORE THAN ANYONE. I just wish one thing: I WANT TO MEET SKANDAR AND WE HAVE A DINNER AND WE WILL BE BEST EVER FRIEND. *well okay stop dreaming*

Pesan dari Korlas x.6

Dear X.6 angkatan 36, Kebetulan gue lagi gak ngablu, I just wanna say something for you.  Ini pertama kalinya kepanitian MOPD buat gue. Saat ditanya mau jadi apa sama Kak Audy. Gue jawab. Korlas. Gue gak tau alesan gue jadi korlas apa. Jujur saat itu pikiran yang terlintas sangatlah ngablu. Gue pengen diajak bukber. Dan setelah gue menjalani semua tugas serta bersama kalian, pikiran gue berubah.  Awalnya gue sangat berterima kasih ke kakak inti dan sc yang mempercayai jabatan sebagai korlas ke gue. Gue masih kurang percaya aja kalo mereka mempercayai gue dengan jabatan itu. Apa karena muka gue yang lemah lembut dan sangat penolong?-_-oke mulai ngablu. Apapun alasannya, gue senang karena kali ini gak di php-in.  Saat diumumin di aula atas yaitu kelas X3, gue melihat nama gue di daftar korlas kelas X6. Dan gue sedikit kaget ngeliat nama arkaan di situ juga. Ada apa dengan Arkaan? Ada apa dengan tijel? Mengapa duo tijel dipersatukan? Entahlah jangan jangan mereka ingin membuat

Puasa Tahun Ini

Sangat tidak terasa bentar lagi bulan suci akan meninggalkan kita. Hiks gue merasa sedih karena merasa belum maksimal memanfaatkan bulan ini. Teraweh alhamulillah sesuai target, tapi khatam....kenapa susah bangettt:'''( dan ada lagi satu target gue yang gue rasa sangat gak berhasil. Punya waktu lebih untuk keluarga. Kalo dipikir-pikir kapan lagi gue ngasih waktu bareng keluarga kalo gak bulan puasa. Kalo hari lain, orang tua gue sering banget pulang malem, sering banget dinas ke luar kota, sedangkan gue sekolah dan les ini itu. Begitu juga dengan adek gue. Sementara di bulan puasa ini, ortu gak dinas sama sekali dan jadwal gue dan adek gue berkurang. Tapi, banyak banget acara bukber yang mesti gue ikutin dan jadinya ya ibu gue pun melancarkan aksi serangan amuk.  Puasa kali ini cukup berbeda. Ada kisah baik dan kisah buruknya. Baiknya ya gue lebih bisa nahan emosi kalo berantem sama adek gue, terus mencoba untuk tetap teraweh meski sendirian, terus berusaha tilawah tia
